Combinatorial online optimization

From MaRDI portal





The paper discusses theoretical and practical issues related to combinatorial online optimization problems. Based on three logistics applications, namely the online control of elevator systems in a distribution center, the routing of commissioning vehicles and the routing of stacker cranes in an automatic storage system, it is demonstrated that the available theoretical concepts like competetive analysis have severe weaknesses when used to analyze different online algorithms for the solution of these problems. Alternatively, simulation analysis is used to evaluate and compare various algorithms, and computational results are presented both for random and real-world data. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0937.00057].
